Kia ora ano and welcome back
You’re up to the third assessment task in the new and improved NZCALNE (Voc). Kai pai you…!
We’re working hard to get all new content for this and other modules live on Pathways Awarua, but until then you can find the first draft here.
The new Assessment 3 still focuses on mapping the demands of your programme using the Learning Progressions. However, the format is simpler and easier to use.
There are six short sections to complete in the new assessment task.
- What are the big picture literacy demands?
- What are the big picture numeracy demands?
- What are some specific reading demands?
- What are some specific writing demands?
- What are some specific number demands?
- What are some specific measurement demands?

Amazing work here Graeme. Really exceptional stuff.
Thanks, brother. All new content in most areas. I’m very happy with how it’s coming together. It’s just taking longer than I expected, but I guess everything does. Revamped content on learning outcomes to post shortly and new content on writing LN programme strategies… The LOs have always bothered me as it gets complicated pretty quick. Trying to keep it simple wherever possible.
